    Hi Jen!

    I have been using MFP for about a year now, and while my numbers don't reflect it, it really is a great tool! You'll grow to love it. Feel free to add me:)

    defor--if you have the funds a good heart rate monitor is an awesome tool to use while exercising.
    someone that is say 300lbs will have a different result than someone that is 100lbs.

    I use the Polar FT7 and I found that I was over estimating my calories most times before I had my HRM.

    this site/app is great! you will do well as long as you follow the calorie intake and work out at least 4 times a week......its tough at first getting used to it but after a little while its normal and gets so much easier! im down 50 lbs and feeling great!
